Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet
I prefer smaller to medium size dogs but I will care for dogs that are up to 40lbs- I would first have to meet the larger dogs & know in advance what type of breed they are. I prefer dogs that are housebroken/trained already. However I possess the skills to teach/train dogs pretty well. I am not a professional trainer but I certainly can do it. All of my dogs were very smart, housebroken & very well behaved.
A typical day
I would take the dogs for walks in my neighborhood or my clients neighborhood if I am pet sitting at their place. If pet sitting in or near my neighborhood, I would definitely walk them by the house I may take them to a park via the owners discretion. I would play with them inside the house & outside of the house. I always encourage lots of toys. It keeps them busy, they get exercise and it can be a great distraction from missing their owners :-) I also love to go to the beach so by the owners discretion, I may take them with me to the beach! Especially if the owner would be on vacation for awhile. I would take them with me to a dog friendly beach to get them some fresh air, excercise and to keep them busy. I always take my dog to the beach. They loved it :-)

Pet care experience
A little about myself.... I got my first pet when my father brought home a puppy when I was about 6 years old. I've always loved dogs my whole life. I've had 4 poodles two boys (our family pets) & my own- one boy toy poodle & one girl- who was a Bichon-Poo- both were mine. Sadly, both have crossed over to the "Rainbow Bridge." Sophie was also an emotional support & therapy dog for my mother. Recently had to put my most recent rescue Sugar down due to complications from heart failure. My home is without and dogs or cats now. I just have 2 parakeets. However, I've fostered dogs & will continue to do so from time to time. That said, I will always be sure to give all of my clients pets the love & comfort that they need & deserve. 😊 Contact me for boarding/petsitting at my home anytime. I am also available to pet/house sit at my clients homes as well. My reviews speak for themself! 🐾❤️
Reviews
We were away for 9 days and Karen took great care of our two Bostons in our home. She was very nice, and the girls loved her. Our house was well taken care of as well. We’d highly recommend her and plan to use her again.
Karen is wonderful! She took great care of my pup and home. Karen is kind, friendly, and communicative. I'd hire her again and recommend her to others looking for a responsible animal lover to care for their pets!
My dog is a Sr and takes meds and Karen was attentive to her pill schedule. I had written detailed instructions for my pups daily schedule and Karen understood because she had a dog a long time ago that took similar meds . She sent pix and texts. My dog was happy in Karen home when I returned . Big thanks !
My dog was comfortable enough with Karen to sleep on the couch next to her. That’s great! My dog really liked her, so did I. I would definitely hire again
